Put away your sledgehammers -- the Broken challenge is now closed. You can find the 7 challenge entries here.

New challenge coming right up!

ADMIN: Quadruped challenge

[china_shop]

jadelennox asked for a rerun of the Diefenbaker challenge or a Turtles challenge, and malnpudl seconded the motion, and then sageness said, "Bears! There need to be bears!"

So we're covering off the whole shebang with a Quadruped challenge -- and you know what that means! Mad careening across the park with a horse and buggy, as well as the turtle, the wolf, and any stray kittens and llamas that happen to find themselves in the vicinity.

It's September 04, CDT -- stories are due by midnight, September 18, CDT.

Admin Reminders
1. Please put your name in the subject line -- it makes life easier for our lovely archivist.
2. For the duration of the challenge, fics should be posted only to ds_flashfiction. (Exception: if the story is long, you can post it to a website, but all links to the story should be via the comm.) You are welcome to link to ds_flashfiction from your LJ, and once the challenge is up, your story is yours to do with as you will. :-)

Special Event Challenge Coming Soon
sageness and I are cooking up another Special Event Challenge. An introductory/interest-gauging post is on its way.

ADMIN: Coming Soon -- dS Match!

[china_shop]

Special Event Challenge: dS Match is a fic challenge with a difference -- half-party, half-relay race!

There'll be two teams (Team Angst and Team Romance) and you can sign up for one or the other but not both. Each team will have a Captain who'll be in charge of coordinating team-building events, pimping the Angst or Romance, and helping the team work together to herd plot bunnies, inspire each other with random caribou stories and ear anecdotes, find beta-readers, etc.

So it's all about teamwork and friendly competition... and awesome Due South fic!

If this seems familiar, it may be because you've come across mcshep_match in SGA fandom and/or snarry_games in HP. sageness and I are planning to bring a somewhat smaller version of the same game to Due South.

Please pimp this challenge to your flist!
